Some people can't go a week without getting attention.

Oblig.

Diabetic? Check.
Overweight? Check.
Started vigorous physical activity, likely without checking with his doctor first? Check.

Not the kind of person to say "I told you so," but...

puckrock: my brother lost his leg to gangrene. He was a Type 1, juvenile onset diabetic. He was never fat and was always quite active. He died at age 35. So please STFU. Thank you.

Sad. Sadder in that it sounds like it could have been prevented.

Are you suggesting he should have been aborted as a fetus?

This guy, the murderer, was a real pip (from tfa):

The fatal crash was originally treated as an accident. Webster said he had swerved to avoid a motorcyclist.

However, the crash was reinvestigated after concerns were raised in the wake of a second crash in New Zealand in 1999.

New tests showed Ms Morris had traces of drugs in her system.

Webster was also convicted of trying to murder his second wife, Felicity Drumm, in Auckland.

He was also found guilty of intending to bigamously marry another woman, Simone Banarjee, from Oban, Argyll, to gain access to her estate, while pretending he had leukaemia.

The crimes were committed as part of a plot to claim almost £1m in life assurance money.

FTA "The brother of a woman murdered by her husband, Malcolm Webster..."
seems like a poorly laid out sentence, at first I wasn't sure if Malcolm Webster was the brother or the husband.
The amputee getting gangrene due to existing medical conditions isn't terribly surprising. It sucks but doesn't seem as connected to the charity walk as the headline writer implies.

"staged car crash" I thought those only existed in poorly written CSI episodes.

Wow that, really, really makes ya think....

/thinks

I assure you the world is working as intended.

Wowzy, wowzy, wooooo

Yeah. I hate it when that happens.

He picked up the challenge again on the edge of Edinburgh to finish at the parliament in Holyrood.

Home of movie stahls!

"Uuuuggghhh! With a gammy leg?"

MONSTERTRUCK: puckrock: my brother lost his leg to gangrene. He was a Type 1, juvenile onset diabetic. He was never fat and was always quite active. He died at age 35. So please STFU. Thank you.

It's more or less customer to just say "that's not funny, my brother died that way".

Customary, not customer damn it...

So, the sister is dead and the brother already has one foot in the grave.
amirite?

ChromoSomes: So, the sister is dead and the brother already has one foot in the grave.

That was so good, I think God will forgive it.

Anyone cracking jokes on this poor guy should first walk a mile in his shoe.

Yet another story that happens all too often.

Done in 2.

Bad: Your sister is murdered.

Well that depends on which sister

I'll take "Ways to Know if God Hates You" for 400, Alex.

We don't have to feel too sorry for him. At least now he's eligible to compete in the famed "One Legged Man's A$$ Kicking Contest". Given his determination to succeed, without even seeing him compete, I'd still give him ten to one odds.

Great post for FML tho, amiright?

Ladyfingers they taste like ladyfingers...
